Contra Costa Times reports that JRich is out for most of camp, as he needs time for his knee to repair completely from surgery.

The arthroscopic surgery Warriors guard Jason Richardson had on his left knee Aug. 22 is going to keep him out of training camp, which runs today through Oct. 11 at the Warriors downtown practice facility here.

"I probably won't be able to play until the last two preseason games," Richardson said Monday at the Warriors media day. "That's fine with me."

I'm not too worried, and I'm confident JRich will be working just as hard as he always has on and off the court. Plus, he should still be able to practice free throws while he regains strength in his knees.

CC Times' Marcus Thompson II also reports that Baron Davis will play some SG?!

Even more, Davis will have to play some shooting guard, a fairly dramatic change for such a ball-dominating point guard. In his stint with the Warriors to date, he's had the lion's share of the creating and playmaking on his plate. Now, Davis will have to show he can be effective without the ball in his hands -- setting screens, cutting effectively and spotting up.

So who plays PG during those times? I'm guessing Monta Ellis, Dajuan Wagner, maybe Keith McLeod, and possibly... Mike Dunleavy?

Lastly, A Vigorous Training Camp is reported.

So not only will they, as Richmond said, not be able to feel their legs, they'll be responsible for digesting a substantial amount of information. All of this under the watchful eye of a reputed perfectionist brandishing an unabashed tongue.

"Our team needs that," Richmond said. "We need to be pushed."

Lets hope that there are no freak injuries and no motivations lost. Let's go Warriors!
